Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the applicable Canadian securities laws, Section 27A of the United

States Securitas Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such statements

are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections and by the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These

forward-looking statements are generally identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “may”, “might”, “expect”, “intend”,

“estimate”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “foresee”, “believe”, “to its knowledge”, “could”, “design”, “forecast”, “goal”, “hope”, “intend”, “likely”, “predict”, “project”,

“seek”, “should”, “target”, “will”, “would” or “continue”, and, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology. All statements other

than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding the Company’s strategy, future operations, future

financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management, the acquisition of UPS Freight, anticipated closing

thereof, and the anticipated benefits therefrom, and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and

unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially

different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking

statements reflect the Company’s views with respect to future events as of the date of this presentation and are based on assumptions and subject to

risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking

statements represent the Company’s estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation and, except as required by law, the Company

undertakes no obligation to update or review publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise

after the date of this presentation. You should read this presentation with the understanding that the Company’s actual future results may be materially

different from what it expects as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to, the failure to

fulfill customary closing conditions and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in the Company’s filings with the securities

regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company qualifies all of its

forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This presentation also contains references to non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Ratio. For the purposes of this presentation,

although not indicated elsewhere, the following non-IFRS financial measures are all resulting, and should be interpreted as being, from continuing

operations. Management believes the use of non-IFRS measures assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the ongoing operating

performance of the Company’s business by allowing more effective comparison between periods. The non-IFRS information provided in this

presentation is used by management and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. The non-IFRS measures used in

this presentation have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s

results as reported under IFRS. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on IFRS results and using non-IFRS financial

measures on a supplemental basis. This information has been prepared by the Company’s management for illustrative purposes only and is not

necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations that would have bene realized, nor is it meant to be indicative of any

future consolidated financial position or future results of operations. Refer to the Appendix section for definition of Adjusted Operating Ratio and

reconciliation of such measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
